Blue lacquer on a Code 11.59 chronograph — the replica code 11.59 26393 blue combines the most popular dial color in the collection with the flyback chronograph complication. Under the double-curved crystal, the blue shifts dramatically with viewing angle while the sub-dials at three and nine add layers of depth. Cal. 4401 with column-wheel switching and 70 hours of reserve. This is the Code 11.59 that people stop to look at.
Blue Under the Double Curve
The combination of blue lacquer and the double-curved crystal produces the most dramatic optical effect in the Code 11.59 catalog. The crystal’s concave exterior surface focuses light into concentrated bands that travel across the blue dial as you move your wrist. The convex interior magnifies the lacquer depth, making the blue appear to float beneath the crystal surface rather than sit at it.
With chronograph sub-dials added to this visual field, the dial becomes genuinely complex. The recessed counters at three and nine catch light at different angles than the main dial surface, creating zones of distinct color intensity. The 30-minute counter and 12-hour recorder in polished sub-dial rings add metallic highlights against the lacquer blue.
Chronograph vs. Selfwinding
The blue selfwinding 26048 offers the same dial color without the chronograph complication. This replica code 11.59 26393 blue adds the timing function at the cost of 2mm in thickness (12.6mm vs. 10.7mm) and a busier dial layout. If you value simplicity, the 26048 is cleaner. If you want the most visually rich Code 11.59, the chronograph in blue delivers it.
Cal. 4401 handles the chronograph duties with a flyback function that the Royal Oak Chronograph also uses. The 70-hour reserve is identical to the selfwinding 4302. The blue alligator strap completes the color story from dial to wrist. Explore all options in the Code 11.59 collection or visit our contact page with questions.
